Palestinian Statehood?A Picture's Worth a Thousand Words

Hundreds of Palestinians gather to watch the speech by President Mahmoud Abbas in the bid for Palestine's "non-member observer state" status at the United Nations, projected on the Israeli separation wall in the West Bank town of Bethlehem, November 29, 2012. Hours later, the UN General Assembly voted 138-9 in favor of the upgraded status for Palestine, with 41 nations abstaining. (photo by: Ryan Rodrick Beiler/Activestills.org)
